The Refugee Union (Hong Kong) was founded in 2014 and is the city\u2019s first refugee-led community organisation. With visions to safeguard refugees\u2019 rights, we have been working with our community partners (e.g., corporations, schools, other organisations, and individual donors and volunteers) and organising diversified programmes to improve the status quo of asylum seekers and refugees stranded in Hong Kong.<\/span><\/p>\n

New Centre Secured in Sheung Wan<\/b><\/h5>\n

We have enjoyed a free office space in Sai Ying Pun since our commencement of service. However, the pandemic struck and our fortune changed.<\/span><\/p>\n

After a few months of fundraising, now we are thrilled to announce that we have secured a new centre in Sheung Wan which will open in early August. We are deeply grateful to our donors for their kind-hearted and generous support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Giving is a blessing. We would greatly appreciate your small donations to support our basic needs and daily expenses for operating the new centre. The fundraising platform is available here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Activities Happened in Our Centre<\/b><\/h5>\n

While we are planning to move, we continue to be the platform for asylum seekers and refugees to support each other and to engage with a wider community.<\/span><\/p>\n

This month we received donations of wide-ranging items, which include but are not limited to food, books and stationary, baby\u2019s items, furniture, and other necessities.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

We would like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude to all donors for lending us a helping hand. Your support means a lot to us. As always, we promise to deliver all donations we received to our members who are in need.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please stay tuned to our official website<\/a> and social media pages (Facebook<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, and Twitter<\/a>) for the updates. You are also welcome to contact us by visiting our office or sending us an email at info@refugeeunion.org should you have any enquiry. We look forward to hearing from you.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
